Oh shit! I might have a busted power suply in my PC!

Screen goes dark and GPU fans go 100%!

I found many post saying this is a busted psu. Thermals on GPU and CPU are fine before crashing.

Am i wrong here?

Sometimes I truly believe that looking up forums for hardware problems is akin to asking a homeopath, tcm or alternative medicine specialist for help. Except it is not a hoax.

This plant's flowers help with this issue. The leaves of this flower, when picked at full moon, have this effect.

I feel so happy and stupid when I click through dozens of forums until I find the magic solution.

Blinking orange light

Hello, I spilled a coffee on my table luckily it didn't touch my laptop but my charger was puddled up by the coffee. After cleaning it up, I've noticed this orange light flashing continuously while charging and my battery percentage doesn't change. It is currently stuck at 49% and doesn't increase o...

(Continued from last toot) Making a 3rd backup of as much data as possible on this drive, then wiping the whole thing and putting a fresh partition. My best guess is that this is residual filesystem errors from the last drive that I had to clone from. Perhaps starting fresh will fix the random corrupting. “We should put the unit back into operation and let it fail, it should then be a matter of tracking down the cause” -hal 9000

Hard drive failed again T~T second time the same data on the same assigned drive (albeit different disks, but same contents) has failed and corrupted in the last month and a half. I’m getting sick of this. I have no idea what’s causing my filesystem to corrupt like that. It doesn’t seem to be a hardware fault this time. Thank God for E2FSCK. At least this time it was repairable without cloning

I was watching the Dungeons and Dragons movie with the family tonight. Great movie and highly recommended.

But when we got to the part of the film where Simon puts the helmet of mcguffin on for the first time, our tv shut off and restarted. I rewound the movie and got video of it. Our tv is old and we got it used. So who knows what triggered the tv to do this. We did it 3 times and it only happens the first time he tries to put the helmet on.

Anybody have a friend who works in #SoftwareEngineering audio at #apple? I would like to make such a friend and I am happy to bribe whoever is necessary.
